Supreme Court stays Bombay High Court order restraining Pune eatery from using trademark \”Burger King\” Justices B V Nagarathna and Satish Chandra Sharma issued notice to Burger King Corporation on the appeal against the high court order. The company in August, 2024, filed an appeal in the high Court, challenging an order passed by a Pune court the same month dismissing its suit alleging trademark infringement against the eatery. The international fast-food chain has argued the use of its name caused a huge loss and damage to the brand name and harmed its goodwill, business and reputation. The high court its order on the interim application said the appeal filed by the company needed to be heard aside from examining the entire evidence. The HC in August extended the ad-interim stay granted by the PuneCourt in January 2012 and begun hearing the company’s plea for the interim injunction against the Punes-based eatery, Anahita Irani and Shapoor Irani. The Pune Court dismissed the 2011 suit filed by Burger King Corp, noting the city-based \”Burster King\” was operating since 1992 which was even before the US giant opened shop in India.
